Caddoan Artifacts Stolen from Arkansas Museum, Spring, 2006
William C. Temple, Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for the State of Arkansas, is requesting the public’s assistance in locating and recovering 26 pieces of historically significant Caddo Indian artifacts that date back to 600 A.D. These 26 pieces of ancient Caddo Indian Nation pottery were reported missing in August 2006 from the Arkansas Archeological Survey Research Station located on the campus of Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Arkansas. It is suspected the pottery artifacts were likely stolen sometime during a three month period between May 2006 and August 2006.
